Ukrainian diplomat complains: every fourth Ukrainian is denied a Canadian visa
The share of refusals for Ukrainians to issue visas to Canada exceeded 26% in the first five months of 2018, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This data was provided by the Ambassador of Ukraine to Canada Andriy Shevchenko.
“In the first five months of 2018, we have a 26,77% failure rate. I believe that this is a colossal figure that does not correspond to the partnership and friendship that exists between Ukraine and Canada,” Shevchenko said in an interview with the Interfax-Ukraine agency.
According to him, there are no logical and rational arguments that would explain such a figure.
The diplomat added that he does not accept the argument that Ukrainians cannot fill out documents correctly.
“It seems to me that neither we nor Canada can really be satisfied with this situation. We are in constant dialogue with the Canadian government regarding this topic. And I hope that Canada’s attitude to the way they consider the documents of our fellow citizens will be radically revised,” said the Ukrainian ambassador.
Answering a question regarding the possibility of introducing a visa-free regime between Ukraine and Canada, Shevchenko noted that the decision would not be quick.
